You live in a country with a flat tax rate of 30% on all income, except for certain classes of tax-free municipal bonds. You are considering investing in two bonds that are equally risky in every respect except for their tax treatment. The present yield-to-maturity on the taxable corporate bond is 4.36%. Estimate what must be the equilibrium yield-to-maturity on the corresponding tax-free municipal bond so that will bear the same after-tax return? (The answer is a percent, round your answer to two decimal place, e.g. 4.75)

Answer #1

Yield on Municipal Bond = Yield on Corporate Bond * (1 - Tax Rate)

Yield on Municipal Bond = 4.36% * (1 - 30%)

Yield on Municipal Bond = 3.05%
